Today I Choose to Live

This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24 NKJV

Today I choose to be kind to myself.  

Today I choose to be positive and think of the good in my life, not concentrating on the bad that calls so loudly.

Today I choose to enjoy all of my life, not just the parts that I call good.

Today I will write, love, laugh and be ... my concentration will not only be on doing.  

Today I will be thankful for all the people in my life … people placed by a God who loves and cares for me.  

Today I remember the people who have gone on to be with the Lord who influenced my life and I am grateful.  

Today I will slow down and take time to enjoy the beauty of nature that God freely bestows on us daily, regardless of season.  

Today I will tell people that I love them because I don’t know what tomorrow holds.  

Today I will look for people to encourage, for there are people around me who need to be uplifted.  

Today I will not worry about what people think but meditate on what God thinks of me.  

Today I will let the minor problems and inconveniences go and give the major ones to God.  

Today I will remember the price that Jesus paid so that I could have abundant, eternal life at the price of His own life.  

Today I will stop, listen, and learn whatever God is trying to teach me through whatever means He is using.  

Today I will ask God to help me display the fruit of His Spirit toward all the people I meet.  

Today I choose to love myself as God loves me and not belittle myself any more.  

Today I choose to live.
